Vaginal length after hysterectomy: comparing two closure methods
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial compares two ways of closing the vagina after a hysterectomy for severe uterine prolapse to see which method keeps more vaginal length. It may help women who want to preserve vaginal depth after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are having a vaginal hysterectomy for stage 3 or 4 uterine prolapse (when the uterus drops down into or outside the vagina).
- You agree to take part in the study and sign a consent form.
- You have not had previous surgery for prolapse like sacrospinous fixation, sacrocolpopexy, or high uterosacral plication.
- Your hysterectomy is not because of cancer, and you have not had radiation therapy (brachytherapy) for cancer.
- You do not have severe vaginal thinning (atrophy) that would make surgery unsafe.

This study looks at whether a specific ultrasound measurement can predict new urine leakage after a surgery that closes the vagina (colpocleisis) for severe prolapse. It may help women who are not planning future intercourse understand their risk of leaking urine after the procedure.
This study tests two types of laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery to repair pelvic organ prolapse, a condition where pelvic organs drop into the vaginal area. One method uses mesh to support the vaginal top, and the other repairs the front or back vaginal wall. It aims to find which approach works best.
This trial tests a surgery to fix vaginal cuff prolapse (when the top of the vagina drops down) in women who have had a hysterectomy. It may help relieve symptoms and improve quality of life.
This trial tests if a self-locking suture works better than a traditional one when closing the vaginal vault during laparoscopic or robotic hysterectomy for gynecologic cancer. It aims to find a safer and more effective method for this part of the surgery.
This study compares two ways to close the top of the vagina after a laparoscopic hysterectomy (keyhole removal of the uterus) – one done through small belly incisions and one through the vagina itself. It looks at which method works better for healing and recovery.
This trial compares two surgical ways to support the uterus without removing it: a vaginal approach versus a laparoscopic (camera) approach. It may help you choose the method that best improves uterine prolapse symptoms and function.
